Known mainly for her role as Maxine “Max” Mayfield in Stranger Things, actress Sadie Sink promises to have a prominent role in Spider-Man: A New Day. While initially many believed that she could be a new romantic interest for the protagonist, a behind-the-scenes photo indicates that her character will follow a very different path.

The photograph shared on X by the profile @UnBoxPHD shows that, at least at one point in the feature film, the actress will appear wearing military clothing. As a result, many came to believe that she will play a role that is closely related to the confirmed presence of the Punisher in the feature film.

Who might Sadie Sink play in Spider-Man 4?

After the image was released, The theory that Sadie Sink will play Rachel Cole gained tractiona character created in 2011 in Marvel comics. She is a kind of companion for the Punisher, who has similar motivations and uses the same skull symbol that identifies the character.

• Created by Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto, the character is a veteran of the Afghanistan war;
• Like the Punisher, her life was destroyed when a villain killed her family, leaving her the only survivor;
• In her search for revenge, it doesn't take her long to find Frank Castle, with whom she cooperates occasionally;
• The decision to cast Sadie in the role makes sense, given that her physical characteristics suit the character well;
• Furthermore, Spider-Man's proposal to be more “down to earth” makes the character work better than others that have been theorized so far.

When Sadie Sink was confirmed in the film, many fans began to believe that she would play the role of Mary Jane, or even Gwen Stacy. The theory that the actress would play Jean Grey, connecting the feature film with the X-Men reboot that Marvel Studios has been planning for some time, also gained traction.

Why does Rachel Cole make sense in the new Spider-Man?

While the actress' role in Spider-Man 4 has not been confirmed by Marvel Studios, the theory that she will play Rachel Cole is the one that makes the most sense at the moment. Given that the Punisher — played once again by Jon Bernthal — will have an important role in the story, it seems like a logical path to introduce another character who has ties to his personal journey.

Furthermore, bringing Sadie as Jean Gray would take the plot too far away from its more “down to earth” proposal.which aims to keep Peter away from the great multidimensional battles of his recent past. The film may even be related to the series Daredevil: Reborn, which shows the Kingpin completely dominating New York City — and starting a major war against the crime fighters who live there.

To top it off, the confirmation that Zendaya is also present in Spider-Man shows that, at least for now, Marvel does not intend to bring a new romantic interest to the hero. Obviously, everything should be considered speculation until the company confirms on its own what the actress' role in the project will be.
